INDIAN RIVER COUNTY The local Republican Party rolled out a litany of speakers Saturday pushing conspiracy theories and election denial, headlined by U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, before at least 300 people at an America First Rally.
The controversial event at the Indian River County Fairgrounds & Expo Center was condemned by the Indian River County Democratic Party.
It drew an excited crowd of conservatives wearing Trump paraphernalia. They often stood to applaud charges that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
“No matter how upset you are about the presidential election and no matter what you’re seeing in the news,” Greene said, “it’s not over. You want to know why? I’m there. And guess what else? This is bigger. All of you are here.”
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY An American First rally with a lineup of conspiracy theorists and election-deniers, headlined by controversial U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is now scheduled for the fairgrounds as a public event.
This is an upgrade and change from initial plans announced last week to host Greene as a speaker during a private breakfast at a local restaurant.
Wilke s 14 Bones BBQ was first scheduled to host Greene and the Indian River County Republican Party, but the Vero Beach restaurant announced over the weekend it was backing out after “threats and concerns with the safety of our employees,” according to a Facebook post by the establishment.
